Description

Cut-and-fold a polyhedron with 7 vertices, 14 faces, 21 edges, and a hole through it like a doughnut. A cube has internal diagonals that connect the diametrically opposite corners. By contrast, this polyhedron has no internal diagonals. There are three other 14-faced polyhedra like this. The only other known example of a polyhedron with no diagonals is the tetrahedron.
